Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (July 24, 2018) Giving teams a couple weekends to test and tune in preparation for the 28th annual ASCS 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank, another Iowa oval will set up the week of events as Mason City Motor Speedway prepares for action on Sunday, July 29.
A $3,000 to win, $400 to start affair at the high-banked half-mile, the inaugural visit one year ago saw Gregg Bakker pick up his first career victory with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com.

The bulk of the series events have come at Knoxville Raceway, which has seen 63 A-Features.
Going into Mason City Motor Speedway, the championship battle is still anyone's to claim as Sam Hafertepe, Jr., Seth Bergman, and Blake Hahn roll in separated by 96 points. Wayne Johnson holds fourth with Matt Covington trailing the No. 2c by 36 markers.
Johnny Herrera sits sixth with Skylar Gee closing to within 75 points of the MVT No. 45x. Scott Bogucki, Travis Rilat, and Chris Martin make up the top-ten in driver standings.
